BOSTON -- For decades, Boston University sociologist Peter Bergersays, American intellectuals have looked down on evangelicals.

Educated people have the notion that evangelicals are "barefootpeople of Tobacco Road who, I don't know, sleep with their sistersor something," Berger says.

It's time that attitude changed, he says.

I'm shocked! I can't control my confusion! My mind has just been absolutelyblown away by this piece of information provided by the Washington Post. I'mgoing to have cross out "Evangelicals are a bunch of incestuous idiots," off mylist of stereotypes.
